We have no news this morning of auy san- guinary battles, East or West, beyond those already reported. West and East, however, the situation of affairs is so decidedly against the retreating or beleaguered armies of the re- bellion that we await with perfect confidence the next developments of General Grant’s com- prehensive and masterly combinations. The latest reported fight near Spottsyivania Court House bas betrayed the weakness of General Lee io that all important element of subsistence. The damages inflicted by Sheridan and Kauts upon his immediate depots and linea of railroads from which be draws his scanty rations, to say nothing of the doings of Averill and Grook on the Virginia and Tennessee line, were such as to compel General Lee the other day to make a des- perate dash upon the nearest outlying provi- sion train of General Grant. The sortie, how- ever, was a disastrous failure, and Ewell’s roughly bandied forlora hope retired behind its Intrenchments somewhat hungricr than when they came out. In his aggressive cam- paign of 1862 against the comparatively little army of General Pope Lee had the good for- tune to capture provisions enough to carry his army over among the cornfields, granaries and well supplied flour mills of Maryland. In his offeusive campaign of 1863 our garrison . at Winchester turned over into his hands provi- sions aad ammunition sufficient to supply all his deficiencies for his march over into Pennsyl- vauia; but in this defensive campaign, with the country eaten out all around him, and with a considerable army to feed at Richmond, and with his supplies from Tennessee, Southwestern Virginia and Georgia seriously interrupted, if not absolutely cut off, General Lee, touching this vital matter of corn bread and bacon, must indeed be inabad way. With all his efforts to get something from the bountiful stores of the Army of the Potomac, he has not captured @ single wagon, while Sheridan and Kautz together have destroyed his depots of supplies to the extent of three or four hundred } millions of dollars in rebel scrip, at the present Richmond price of four hundred dollars for a barrel of flour. A little delay, under such circumstances, is no disadvantage to General Greot; but it is a positive misfortune to Lee, which no amount | of digging will remedy. What then’ Ho probably expects that General Grant will dash his army to pieces against the defensive works before him. after the fashion of General Buro- side ; but General Grant may prefer to hold his adversary just where he is uotil some otber plans, looking to the same end of Lee's removal, are carried out in other quarters. The late sortie of Beauregard upon Butler’s lines was a desperate but unavailing effort to break the coils that are tightening around Richmond. That city is in danger ; and yet, although with its fall the business of Lee iu Virginia is at an end, Richmond has become &@ trap which he will most probably avoid, even if driven fn that direction. The word subsistence explains the difficalty. We can, therefore, patiently waft until Gene- rai Grant is ready to strike again from the front, considering that his left wing on the James river cuts off both food and reinforcements from the enemy, and that his right wing iu Goorgia, ander Sherman, is carrying everg- thing before if, Sheridan and Kautz are not idle. and considoriag, too, that Looking the whole field, from Virginia to Georgia, we see that the game is now so completety io the hands of General Grant that be omy take his own time to play it out. We know, wo, that he will not delay a moment the Atmy of the Potomac when he sees that the time has | come for the soreate march aoe Srax Vion. ATING THE Moxnor Docretné.— The fact that Spaia has recently undertaken to “annex” the Chincha Islands to ber do- minions bat serves to show how far we have fallen trom the pringiples left to us by our forefathers, and little the crowns of Europe respect our influence on this continent. how } It is not long #iace Spain deuounced va ia | the face of the world for eur annexation pro- elivities. For her, Yankees and fii/usteros were one and the same thiag, aod her press and be: statesmen did uot cease taxing us with the rapacious spirit of the buccaneers of old; and yet Spain her now attempts a most shame- less violation of the rights of nations. Under the pretence of showing her flag id the Pacific, and to renew friendly relations with her former colonies, Spain, the mother country, to quote tho fatlacious langnage of the Madrid journals, “went to pay her daugh- ters a visit.” Admiral Pinzon, with a small fleet, went to Tierra del Fuego, and through the Straits of Magelian passed further on to the Chilean coasts and to Meru. There he was received with open arms by the confiding peo- ple, who never dreamed of his treachery. Balls and banqnets were given in his honor, and, the better to deceive hia intended victims, Pinton ayed the utmost courtesy and friendli- But, at the very momeat whea.all were ain intended no harm to “her # trifling question was raised, a quarrel casted, and the gallant Admiral seized the Chincha Islands, with as litde show of ceremony as a bighwayman Centuries ago, in precively toe same manner, Cortes visited the court of Moatezuina, the lust Em neaa, persuaded tha’ daughters,” | semi-diplomatic | peror of Mexico, and, with the arts of a tho- ' rough courtier, cajoled and flattered (hat mon- | arch, until the preconcerted moment arrived for bis a@rcalnaerag to woine the kind-hearted sovereign and pat bim in irove. The question between the two countries isa very sunpte one. One of two Spaniards wore ‘ert, ye Cabinet of Madrid de. manded satefaction, and the goverafiont of Pert took all necessary steps to arrest and | punish the guilty. Kut Spain could not wait, | snd rejecting all judicial and diplomatic mea “ , She seized upon the chief source of the | Pe eruvian revenue, and bolds it as a “bond’’-— such @ one ad Oortez took from Montezuma. Such a treacherous coucse, worthy of the nation to whom belongs the glory of the inqul- sition, would got ha¥e been undertaken bat | for (ue war ian which we are now engaged, and under the auspices of the recenquest of Mexico by the iinperial Zonaves and Turces. Spata, unaided, would vot have dared to ow- bark in ench an enterprise; but, backed by others, ehe may perchance dream of a crows for one of the eclons of “our anole Charles.” Was she 20 easily persuaded to renounce the crown of Mexico because ahe hoped to secure a better and firmer throne in the Paoifict Ocoupied at prosent in suppressing the re- bellion, we are not prepared to resent the in- trasion upon this continent of both France and Spain; but the period is near at hand when we shall have settled all our internal troubles, and then we shall find both time and {inclination to eet these matters aright. Spain, in the Obinche Islands affair, affords an example in filibuster- ing which may yet, to hor detriment, be fol- lowed on this side of the Atlantic. fa American ‘The Amerto The samples of pean dry goods ex- hibited last Monday at the ladies’ Cooper In- stitute meeting may be, for what we know, a3 beautiful as the finest importations from Lyons, Paris, Bale or St. Etienne; and, to use Rev. Dr. King’s phraseology, it may be correct to say that “the American women in American cloth- ing will be more lovely and more beloved.” Yet we do think that the fair leaders in this anti- foreign silk movement are so far on the wroug scent. We happened to pick up, a few days ago, on the sidewalk of Broadway, not far from A. T. Stewart’s marble palace, a dressmaker’s lost bill, the perusal of which evill convince Pro- fessor Hitchcock, Miss Susan B. Anthony and the Executive Committee of the Metropolitan Sanitary Fair that if dresses ar o now-a-days so very expensive articles, it is much less in con- sequence of the real cost of dry goods than on account of the ruinous high prices put oa the trimmings by the dressmakers themselves, and other terrible impositions practised on their too credulous customers by those priestesses of La Mode. Here is a true copy of that interest- ing document:— ey po white and purple grenadine dress, at 20 yards white taifotas, at $2 75 43.00 55 00 2 yards marceline, at $1 15 230 46 yard tulle, at $2 25.. 125 30 yards insertion, at $020 + 600 88 yarda bionde > 9 50 22 Yards black lusertiou 16 50 2 white fringe 3 50 4 pleces ribbont 24 00 Skirt is <8 Ruches 015 Chernisetio. 6 00 Shields . 075 Tact « 0 55 Furnishiogs 125 4 00 = rs Here we have a mere grenadine dress which costs $287 10, when the extravagant Flora McFiimsey who ordered it could have got a similar chef dorvere, with exactly the same material, as great a fulness of skirt and ao equal display of insertion, blonde lace, taf- fetas, ribbons and the like, for half the price she bad to pay. Had the fair wearer of that costly but ephemeral fabric gone to the trouble of purchasing herself all the material required for her dress, she would have been {faformed tbat her grenadine did not cost $5 50 a yard, nor the ribbons $6 a piece, nor the shields 75 cents a pair; aud had she then sent for a fashionable coufuriére, to have her dress made at home, under her own eyes, she would have soon found out that with the amount of goods meationed ia the bill abave she bad nearly enough for two stylish dresses. The worthy persons who set their faces against the wearing of imported silks will see by this thet, as it is often the case at our rea- taurants, where a dish of perdrix avn chou is ridiculously expensive, compared with the price of partridges, the cost of a fashionable dress made with imported goods could be con- siderably reduced, would not the dresamakers include in the bill the price of all the cabbage they unsorupulousiy eet aside for their own use. But in the well knowa fondness of ladies for “shopping,” in their characteristic activity, in their tasteful love for cutting, sewing, plying the scissora and the needle, in their exquisite ¢raft at bonnet making, could the leaders of the anti-extravagance movement find powerful means to accomplish their reform in the household budget. Instead of recommend- ing homemade goods, which will recommend themseives sufficiently if they be as fine hs the imported oues, let them praise homemade dresses and bonnets. When the mass of the American Jadies turn couturieres and modistes the cost of supporting a fashionable wife or a modish daughter in New York will be reduced by half: And such expense a3 pinches parents bine, Aud mortiiios the liveral hand of love, witl no longer be sqnandered ia purchase of ruinous modes. Geserac Huxver’s — Arromrwext.— Phe promptness with which the government had removed General Sigel and placed a new com- mander in the Shenandoah valley gives the best possible evidence of ils earnestness in the prosecution of the war and of its disposition to do ail that can possibly contribute to our success. General Hunter is @ thorough sol- dier, aud will do well whatever can be done to retrieve the time and prestige lost by his pre- decessor. His present department is one hap: pily relieved of all those embarrasements that the presence of negroes might cause. There can be no possible necessity to decide nice questions of negro rights or to issue proclame- tious in the valley just now; but there is a he- cessity to act with energy and to fight. Io such a department General Huater will be found a first.rate commander. By this removal of General Sigel all of the generals appointed from civil life, who had the command of departmeats in which there were active operations, have been retired, excepting only General Butler.

Hoaxes on rax Newspapers’ ano tas Pao- PLe.—We yesterday had thé pleasure to an- nounce to the people the arrest of the authors of the infamous outragp on the public in ‘the form of a bogus call for men. No cirgumgtange of recent occurrence has more generally grati- fled the people than these arrests. Everywhere the most decided satisfaction was expressed, except in the columns of the Tribune. The Trthune could net believe that “Howard of the Times” was the oriminal. This is the first time that tle Tribune ever hesitated to believe any- thing bad. The cause of its incredulity on thie oecasion was the fact that Howard is a promi- nent republicau of the Eiymoath church va- riety. But now that Howard is snugly in custody, and is tolerably sure of punishment—if his po- litical affinities do aot prove to be too strong— it is worth while for the government to consider the propriety of going a step further in this matter of hoaxes. ‘T'wo other notorious hoaxes have lately been put upon the country—one pretending to be a report of the rebel Secretary of the Navy, and the other a correspondence between Lord Lyons and Jeff. Davis. One of these placed our government in a false and ridiculous position before Europe, and the otber slandered and villifed an ambassador. But the latter, we believe, originated some- where in the rebel States. It is to be hoped that, apropos of the present excitement, the whole subject of hoaxes through the newepapers will be well ventilated. Some stringent measures ate necessary to put a stop to the grievous annoyances of domestic quiet that ate caused by bogus advertisements, mar- riage notices, &:., and the present is a good time to regulate that subject. It is possible, moreover, that a severe punishment inflicted on the perpetratora of this last fraud may have ita effect on these smaller counterieiters. Oe, Pro Nowis.—The Paris journals stale that M. Auber, the composer, has been charged by the Euperor Maximilian lL to compose the music of a Mexican national hyma, the words of which have been written by M.
